description of the invention, such aswwill enable others skilled in the art tojwhich it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a bottled liquid mixing machine, and is in the nature of an improvement onthe machine shown in my application for a Patent #836,724, filed May 6, 1914.

An object of the inventionresides in the provision of improved means for maintaining the box supporting platform in a horizontal position while the box and cover therefor are being put in place thereon or removed therefrom.

With these and other objects in view such as will appear as the description progresses, my'invention comprises the combination and arrangement of parts as set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a plan view, showing a box in place upon the platform, but the cover for the said boxremoved. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view, showing the relative positions of the parts when the box and platform are held stationary. Fig. 4 is a similar view, showing the position of the parts when the platform and box are free to revolve.

Referring to the drawing wherein like parts are indicated by like characters throughout the several views :A frame 1 similar to the frame in the above mentioned application is provided. Extending between the ends of the standards of this frame are bars 2, between which extends a U-shaped yoke 3 made of any suitable resilient metal and rigidly secured to revoluble shafts 4. Secured to this yoke 3 is a platform 6 on which the box of bottles and cover 7 may be placed. This cover 7 is provided with a plurality of holes through which the necks of the bottles may extend.

The cover is held on the box by coil springs 7 which springs are secured to the plat, form 6. The coil springs hold the cover yieldingly on the bottles so that it may hold bottles of various sizes,

One of the shafts 4, is extended outwardly and has a crank handle 7 mounted on the end thereof by meansof which it may be rotated.

ATNT urine.

Secured to the bar 2 adjacent the crank handle 7" is an outwardly extending plate .8 having a notch 9 in the end thereof in is adapted to. The normal tendency of the arms which the crank handle 7 engage. 10 of the U-shaped yoke 8 is to draw the handle 7 mto the notch 9 and prevent the rotation of the platform 6 and to also frictionally engage the box so that it will be held upon the platform. In operation after a box has been placed on the platform 2 and the cover for the box secured thereto the handle 7 is drawn outwardly against the resistance of the arms 10 of the yoke 3 and sides ofthe box and thus maintain the same in place on the platform during the removal of the cover therefrom.

Thus it will be seen that I have provided an improved means for maintaining the platform on which the box of bottled liquid is mounted in a stationary position so that the box may be placed on the platform or removed therefrom without the possibility of the platform tilting or revolving.

I have further constructed the device in such manner that the box will be maintained on the platform after the cover has been removed therefrom.

While I have illustrated and described a particular embodiment of'my invention, 1 have merely done so for the sake of convenienceand I do not wish to be limited to that particular embodiment as it is obvious frame, horizontally extending spaced bars secured totheupper end thereof, stub shafts revolubly mounted in said loars, a U-shaped yoke having resilient arms secured to and depending from. said shafts, a platform mounted on the yoke and adapted to support a box, one of said shafts being extended and having a crank handle on the end thereof, a notched plate secured to the adjacent bar, the said crank handle being constructed and; arranged to fit into said notch and the resilient arms to frictionally engage the box supported on the platform.

In a bottledliquid mixing machine, a frame having horizontally disposed spaced bars on, the upper end thereof, a platform revoluhlyinounted' between said bars, a stub shaft yieldaloly associated with said platform and having a crank handle on one end thereof, a plate having a notch therein secured to the side bar adjacent the'crank handle, and resilient means for moving the said crank handle into the said notch.

In testimony whereof, I my signature, inthe presence of two Witnesses.
